要点：
- 奥地利财政部和 ADX 已就上奥地利州 ADX-AT-I 和 ADX-AT-II 勘探和生产许可​​区域（区域变化）的变化达成一致。最终区域修订协议预计将在第二季度达成。区域变化已做出，许可下的总面积将保持不变，不会给 ADX 带来额外成本。 - ADX 发起
并设计了区域变化，以抓住盆地中不同类型油气田的多种资产扩张机会，包括：
- 多个低风险且随时可钻探的浅层天然气目标，这些目标可以从已证实的天然气油气田中快速实现生产和现金流增长。区域变化使 ADX 油气田范围内的浅层天然气目标数量增加了三倍。
- Welchau 油气田扩展油气田，包括 Welchau-1 油气田的潜在扩展，以及 Molln-1* 天然气评估机会（之前不在公司油气田范围内）和后续 Rossberg 油气田的覆盖范围（参见图 3）。 *1989 年，Molln-1 井从一个碳酸盐储层中测试出高达 4.0 MMCFD 的凝析油富集气，该储层与 Welchau-1 井测试的储层年龄相当。
- 预计高影响力油气前景将受益于正在进行的 3D 地震处理计划以及从最近的 Lichtenberg-1 井获得的地层知识。
- 结合上述资产扩张，Anshof 近场石油勘探前景正在成熟，可供钻探并与 Anshof 生产设施相连。

ADX 执行董事长 Ian Tchacos 先生表示：“公司利用我们对整个盆地中经过验证且具有商业成功前景的知识，建立了低风险天然气前景清单。由于区域变化，ADX 现在拥有许多可钻探、浅层且可快速开发的清洁天然气目标，而此时欧洲天然气价格达到两年来的最高水平。此外，继 Welchau-1 和 Lichtenberg-1 的成果之后，大型不断发展的碳氢化合物前景和评估机会正在成熟，可供钻探。这使 ADX 处于非常有利的地位，可以在短期内大幅增加产量和现金流，并在长期内从转型机会中获取巨大的资源潜力”。

ADX Energy Ltd (ASX 代码：ADX) 欣然宣布，其全资奥地利子公司 ADX VIE GmbH 已向奥地利财政部提交了对上奥地利州 ADX-AT-I 和 ADX-AT-II 勘探许可区域（区域变更）进行变更的申请（参见图 1）。区域变更的处理工作已进入公众意见审查阶段，目前已取得一定进展，ADX 现在可以披露对其许可区域进行这些战略性修改的细节。区域变更包括放弃部分现有土地并增加新的连续土地，以使许可下的总面积保持不变。对许可区域的优化使公司能够升级整体投资组合，而无需承担额外成本。

修订后的面积配置使 ADX 处于有利地位，可以在短期内实现生产收入多元化并提高其生产收入基础，同时降低风险并快速开发天然气目标，因为它将继续在其不断发展的勘探组合中成熟具有更大资源潜力的钻探前景。随着 Welchau 的持续评估，多种增长机会正在推进，包括：

浅层天然气目标
ADX 的当前重点是多个低风险且随时可钻探的浅层天然气目标，这些目标有望通过经过验证的天然气储量快速实现生产和现金流增长，并在 3D 地震上具有强大的可识别特征。这些浅层天然气目标提供了即时且低成本的钻探机会，靠近开放管道基础设施，并有多个后续行动。ADX 已将其修订后的面积位置中的这些前景数量增加了两倍多。该储量的开发在很大程度上归功于过去两年详细的 3D 地震 AI（“人工智能”）测绘。

Welchau 油气储量扩展
Welchau 油气储量已扩大，包括 Welchau-1 油气发现区的潜在扩展、Molln 天然气评估机会的更大覆盖范围（之前不在公司油气储量范围内）以及后续 Rossberg 油气勘探区。Welchau-1 油气发现区和附近的 Molln-1* 油气发现区的结果已经表明，ADX 碳酸盐逆冲带油气储量潜力巨大。油气储量的潜力将通过对 Welchau-1 油气进行的持续测试（目前暂停，等待现有环境许可证异议的解决）和利用从钻井中获得的结构和储层信息进行的解释工作得到进一步确定。

*Molln-1 油气井在 1989 年从与 Welchau-1 油气井测试的碳酸盐储层中测试了高达 4.0 MMCFD 的天然气。

高影响力石油和天然气前景
额外的高影响力石油和天然气前景正在成熟，预计将受益于升级的解释，这些解释得到了对 ADX-AT-I 许可区域内大量 3D 地震数据集的进一步重新处理的支持。这些增强功能与从最近的 Lichtenberg-1 井获得的重要地层知识相得益彰。

安斯霍夫近场勘探前景

除了上述增长机会外，安斯霍夫近场勘探前景正在成熟，可在 ADX-AT-II 勘探许可证内进行钻探。目标是迅速增加现有安斯霍夫永久生产设施的产量。

综上所述，ADX 正在开发一系列评估和勘探项目，计划在 2025 年与 Welchau-1 的持续测试相结合。利用现有资金来源以及潜在的外包，该公司计划使用钻机开展勘探活动，最初的目标是其不断扩大的低风险浅层天然气勘探组合以及现有 Anshof 油田附近的边坡钻探。

公司计划在每个增值项目成熟时及时向股东通报最新情况。这些公告将详细说明每个前景或矿产资源的目标资源潜力（ADX 净值），以及 ADX 的许可和钻探计划。

Key points:
- The Austrian Ministry for Finance and ADX have agreed on a variation of the ADX-AT-I and ADX-AT-II exploration and production licence areas (Area Variations) in Upper Austria. A final area amendment agreement is expected during Q2. The Area Variations have been made such that the total area under licence will remain the same with no additional costs to ADX.
- The Area Variations have been initiated and designed by ADX to capture multiple asset expansion opportunities with different play types in the basin, including:
- Multiple, low risk and drill ready Shallow Gas Targets that can provide rapid production and cash flow growth from a proven gas play. The Area Variations have tripled the number of Shallow Gas Targets within ADX’ acreage.
- Welchau Play Extension acreage including a potential extension of the Welchau-1 prospect, plus coverage of the Molln-1* gas appraisal opportunity (previously outside the Company’s acreage) and the follow-up Rossberg prospect (refer to Figure 3). *The Molln-1 well tested up to 4.0 MMCFD of condensate rich gas in 1989 from a carbonate reservoir of equivalent age to that being tested at the Welchau-1 well.
- High Impact Oil and Gas Prospects that are expected to benefit from the ongoing program of 3D seismic processing and stratigraphic knowledge gained from the recent Lichtenberg-1 well.
- In conjunction with the above asset expansion, Anshof Near Field Oil Exploration Prospects are being matured for drilling and tie back to the Anshof production facility.

ADX Executive Chairman, Mr Ian Tchacos, said “The Company has been building an inventory of low-risk gas prospects for some time by leveraging our knowledge of a proven and commercially successful play that is present across the Basin. As a result of the Area Variations, ADX now has many drill-ready, shallow and fast to develop clean gas targets at a time of the highest European gas prices in two years. In addition, following the results of Welchau-1 and Lichtenberg-1, large evolving hydrocarbon prospects and appraisal opportunities are being matured for drilling. This places ADX into a highly advantageous position to substantially build production and cashflow in the short term and pursue large resource potential from transformational opportunities in the longer term”.

ADX Energy Ltd (ASX Code: ADX) is pleased to advise that its wholly owned Austrian subsidiary ADX VIE GmbH has submitted an application for a variation to the ADX-AT-I and ADX-AT-II exploration licence areas (Area Variations) in Upper Austria to the Austrian Ministry for Finance (refer to Figure 1). The processing of Area Variation, which has included a public comment review phase, has progressed to an extent that ADX can now disclose the details of these strategic modifications to its license area. The Area Variations include some relinquishment of existing acreage and additions of new contiguous acreage such that the total area under licence will remain the same. This optimisation of the licenced area has enabled the upgrading of the overall portfolio with no additional costs to the Company.

The revised acreage configuration places ADX in an excellent position to diversify and improve its production revenue base in the short term with low risk and fast to develop gas targets as it continues to mature prospects for drilling in its evolving exploration portfolio with larger resource potential. Multiple growth opportunities are being progressed in conjunction with the ongoing evaluation of Welchau, including:

Shallow Gas Targets
ADX’ immediate focus is on multiple, low risk and drill-ready shallow gas targets that are expected to provide rapid production and cash flow growth from a proven gas play with strong, identifiable signatures on 3D-seismic. These Shallow Gas Targets provide immediate and low-cost drilling opportunities that are close to open access pipeline infrastructure, with multiple follow ups. ADX has more than tripled the number of these prospects within its revised acreage position. The development of this play is attributable to a large extent to detailed 3D seismic AI (“Artificial Intelligence”) mapping over the last two years.

Welchau Play Extensions
The Welchau area acreage has been expanded to include a potential extension of the Welchau-1 discovery, greater coverage of the Molln gas appraisal opportunity (previously outside the Company’s acreage) and the follow-up Rossberg prospect. The results of the Welchau-1 and the nearby Molln-1* gas discovery already demonstrate the large resource potential within ADX’ Carbonate Thrust Belt play. The potential of the play will be further defined by the ongoing testing of Welchau-1 (currently suspended pending the resolution of an objection to an existing environmental permit) and interpretation work that is already underway utilising structural and reservoir information gained from the drilling of the well.

*The Molln-1 well tested up to 4.0 MMCFD of gas in 1989 from a carbonate reservoir of equivalent age to that being tested at the Welchau-1 well.

High Impact Oil and Gas Prospects
Additional High Impact Oil and Gas Prospects are being matured which are expected to benefit from upgraded interpretations supported by further new reprocessing of the extensive 3D seismic data set within the ADX-AT-I licence area. These enhancements are further complemented with the important stratigraphic knowledge gained from the recent Lichtenberg-1 well.

Anshof Near Field Exploration Prospects

In addition to the above mentioned growth opportunities the Anshof Near Field Exploration Prospects are being matured for drilling within the ADX-AT-II exploration licence. The goal is to rapidly add production to the existing Anshof Permanent Production facility.

In summary, ADX is developing an extensive portfolio of appraisal and exploration projects that it plans to pursue during 2025 in conjunction with the ongoing testing of Welchau-1. Using existing funding sources, as well as potential farmouts, the Company is planning to engage a drill rig to commence exploration activities, initially targeting its expanding portfolio of low-risk shallow gas prospects along with step-out drilling near its existing Anshof oil field.

The Company plans to keep shareholders informed through timely updates as each value-adding project is matured. These announcements will detail the targeted resource potential (net to ADX) for each prospect or play, along with ADX plans for permitting and drilling.
